infrared compatible

[motcon]

ahhhh...now i see why. the manual states that there is an ir sensor and makes conservative statements regarding fogging.

when i shot it in europe, i didn't even give it a second thought and no fogging at all. just did some poking around and it appears that others have experienced the same; no fogging.

Just as a followup, I visited the forums at nikonians.com and many
N80 users have shot Kodak HIE with no fogging at all.

Since I was leaning toward an N80 anyway, I think this confirmation
makes the N80 my choice.

Thanks for everyone's input!

I've actually been leaning towards Nikon, a couple have been recommended to me, the N80, the FM10 and the FM3a.

I'm very pleasantly surprised with the huge, helpful response to my question. thanks, everyone!
